How to set Video refresh rate at gamestartup

Post by Henry »

Hello all,

the game didn't start proper, because it set the video mode to a video mode not supported by my montior. I use an LCD at 60Hz and I don't know, how to tell this to the game at startup.

You could try using different bits per pixel, using a different resolution, or windowed mode. See http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/WesnothMan for the manual page that details all the options.

Your video driver really should not advertise that it supports modes that your display can't handle -- if you have an old display you might be able to configure the driver accordingly.
